Live stream time was limited, so Yao Yao naturally couldn't wait for the police to thoroughly investigate.
Negotiating afterward was undoubtedly the best approach.
"Alright, this is my contact information. If there's any news, I hope Master won't hesitate to help."
Even though the Fated Person's心态崩 (state of mind had collapsed), his attitude towards the Master who could help him remained respectful.
He even knew his finances were severely hit but instinctively spent twenty to thirty thousand, and Yao Yao didn't even have time to stop him.
After the connection was cut, only Yao Yao remained in the live stream, along with the lively netizens.
[The Fated Person has it too hard. He was cautious his whole life, only to suffer such a massive fall in the end.]
[If this matter isn't resolved clearly, he probably won't even think about urging his son to get married anymore. After all, with the family's situation, no girl would dare to marry in.]
[No, let's not get too carried away. Even if things are bad, he still has one house in S City.]
[And this is a 'pig butchering scam.' The Master said she'd intervene, so at least most of the money should be recoverable.]
Netizens still trusted Yao Yao greatly. If it were just a simple police report, they wouldn't have much faith in getting the money back.
But with the Master stepping in, many things naturally changed.
Because that last sentence hit too close to home, the netizens all closed their mouths, as continuing the discussion would be impolite.
"Everyone, don't worry too much. This matter will be resolved!" Yao Yao said softly.
Although the Fated Person's Wealth Palace had encountered Kong Jie transforming into Ji, which typically signified total financial ruin.
However, thankfully, it was discovered in time. The other party's losses were certainly present, but at least there was a chance for remedy, not a complete loss.
And because of the changes in his family, the Fated Person's son experienced the hardships of earning money. He consequently shed his spendthrift nature and began to seriously consider living a down-to-earth life.
Not long after, he even met his true love, which resolved a major concern in the Fated Person's heart.
"Here, I want to remind everyone to guard against gambling scams. There's no such thing as a low-risk, high-return windfall in this world."
"If you encounter one, it means you've been targeted. Don't fall for it easily."
Yao Yao's tone was very serious. Although she hadn't been down the mountain for long, thanks to the legal科普 (popular science) from her Third Brother and Fifth Brother, she was very clear about the consequences of 'pig butchering scams.'
With so many netizens in the live stream, the warning's effect should be excellent.
So, Yao Yao, acting all mature, imitated her Third Brother's admonitions perfectly.
[Alright, alright, we'll listen to Master. No picking up big bargains, hahahahaha.]
Seeing this, the netizens immediately laughed. The Master acting all mature was simply too adorable.
It subtly broke down the initial awe, adding a touch of intimacy.
"Then let's continue to draw the next Fated Person!"
Yao Yao had no idea what these people were thinking behind the scenes. She believed her warning had worked, and a satisfied smile appeared on her small face.
Then, after some operations on her phone with her chubby little hands, she released a new lottery slot.
Netizens, as usual, hotly contested for it, then stubbornly performed rituals in the comment section.
This time, the Fated Person drawn was a woman in her thirties.
However, her condition was very strange. She was sallow and emaciated, and her eyes were filled with panic and fear.
As soon as she saw Yao Yao, she cried out anxiously: "Master, save me, save me,嗚嗚嗚 (wuwuwu)!"
"I'm going to die! It's going to kill me! It's going to kill me!"
This Fated Person's mental state was very poor, even on the verge of collapse. She was speaking incoherently and nonsensically.
Yao Yao had no choice but to recite the "Quiet Mind Incantation" to first stabilize the other party's condition.
"All things be still, mind and energy calm, gaze upon my singular spirit, mind and spirit unified… Undisturbed by change, without delusion or anger, without attachment or abandonment."
The Quiet Mind Incantation contained "profound truths," and Yao Yao's recitation, given her strength, had an exceptionally good effect.
The Fated Person visibly calmed down.
"I'm sorry, Master, I lost my composure." The fear in her eyes hadn't completely faded, but at least she could communicate.
With this act of appeasement, the Fated Person gained a clear understanding of Yao Yao's methods and no longer harbored any thoughts of verification.
"Please, Master, save me!" she pleaded, looking over.
Yao Yao nodded without refusing. She didn't ask about the latter's situation because she had already activated her pupil technique.
Because she had assimilated the Blood Pupil in her glabella, the lotus blooming in her eyes was no longer golden, but a fiery crimson.
With a sweep, her gaze fell upon the latter's prominently pregnant belly. There, she saw a cluster… of a pitch-black infant.
Unlike a normal child, its entire body was bluish-purple, and its face was covered with brown corpse spots.
Its small mouth wore a beautiful smile as it continuously devoured the Fated Person's blood energy through the connected umbilical cord.
The infant seemed to sense the scrutiny. Its dark, shadowy eyes looked over, a hint of provocation on its lips.
However, this arrogance didn't last long. Upon encountering the Crimson Lotus in Yao Yao's eyes, it instantly recoiled in terror.
"Borrowing a womb to live, you infant ghost certainly know how to scheme. Since you're dead, don't pester Big Sister anymore."
Yao Yao's small face grew serious. She was about to form a hand seal to expel it from the human body when the infant ghost let out a sharp, prolonged shriek.
The Fated Person's face instantly turned white, and streaks of blood began to crisscross her face.
The marks spread rapidly. The Fated Person shrieked, and before everyone's eyes, her eyes turned into terrifying white pupils.
Her expression also became distorted, and a hoarse, unfamiliar female voice emerged from her mouth.
"If you dare to touch my son, I'll kill this woman. I mean what I say; you can't stop me."
As her voice fell, a man, as if receiving a command, burst straight in.
The man was in his thirties, and his appearance could be described as an eyesore. His triangular eyes radiated malevolent light, and his garlic-shaped nose was sunken.
His philtrum was connected to his upper lip, a clear sign of a congenital cleft lip. When he grinned, he revealed sparse, blackened teeth.
"Xiu Xiu, is this woman disobedient again?"
"Damn bitch, really ungrateful. I'll make her regret it later."
The man stared at the Fated Person's face before him, his expression turning fierce.
His mind was entirely focused on the Fated Person, so for a moment, he didn't notice the live stream.
This sudden turn of events utterly shocked the netizens, not just because of the latter's extremely ugly appearance, but more importantly, because of the tone of voice of the one speaking next.
No one present was a fool. Having seen many supernatural scenes in the live stream, they immediately understood what was happening.
The Fated Person was actually being used as a vessel by this awful man and the female ghost possessing her, to nurture a ghost infant.
This realization immediately made them suck in a cold breath, goosebumps breaking out all over their bodies.
